A school community fostering creativity individuality and leadership while striving for excellence in teaching and learning

marked in term 3 students are keen to

have these completed Trial HSC

examinations take place in weeks 2 and

3 and the fact that they are early is also

to support the many students with

major works

On the final day of term 2 our

Community of Schools held a joint

Staff Development Day We have

formed a partnership with Corwin and

the John Hattie group from Melbourne

University looking at Visible Learning

This approach puts the student at the

centre of learning and encourages

Continued from page 1

Already almost 50 of teachers

participated in a series of four evening

workshops in partnership with UNSW

and the GERRIC centre to qualify for a

Certificate of Gifted Education One of

the features of this course was

developing specific subject programs

that responded to the needs of gifted

students At an upcoming Professional

Learning evening those trained teachers

will be supporting those who did not

attend the training in developing these

skills in program writing

The first week back at school will see the

final Parent Teacher night for 2016 This

last evening will again provide parents of

Years 9 and 10 the opportunity to discuss

their studentrsquos progress with their

teachers The final semester one report

was also issued in week 1 for Years 9 10

and 11 and so all students should now

have received their Half Yearly report

Another very successful initiative was

the cake stall and sausage sizzle that took

place on Election Day The PampC art

committee organised the cake stall and

the PampC sports committee organised the

sausage sizzle (with eggs bacon and

onions) both these committees as do

our other parent committees work very

hard to support students at the school

with incredible resources

This time last year we were trialling the

ldquoElevaterdquo program with a number of

year groups This program teaches

students organisational and study skills

and each year builds upon earlier student

workshops The feedback from students

is extremely positive and the Elevate

program is now embedded in the school

calendar

At the end of term our junior and senior

dance ensembles performed at the

Northern Sydney Dance Festival Both

performances were received with high

acclaim Ms Leto our wonderful dance

coordinator also held a dance soiree to

showcase the HSC dance studentsrsquo

performances and choreography The

standard of performance by all students

was outstanding

Three of our drama ensembles have also

been selected to perform at the Sydney

North Drama Festival Our drama

students are so talented I am sure they

will be acclaimed

Many of our students have achieved

incredible success lately both

individually and in teams Ashley

Wilkie Y12 and an SRC leader has

been chosen to lead all cadets in the

Sydney metropolitan region A

fantastic achievement Lara Unkovich

of Y9 belongs to the Metropolitan

Slammers and her tennis team were

successful in winning the 2016 NSW

16 and under State Team

Championships Lara is also a member

of the MHS Knock Out tennis team

that has reached the final eight teams in

the state

Hedy Hagans (Y11) participated in a

two week promotion course with the

AAFC and not only did she pass with

Distinction she was the Dux of the

course which included over 80

participants from around the country

Also a number of students are finalists

in the Young ICT Explorers

Viz bike system uses a mix of

technology to protect cyclists on the

road Declan and Callum will now

luck boys Congratulations also to

Harmony Lovegrove who has been

news that Brendan Nyholm (Y11) has

been selected as one of twenty students

from across NSW to be Secretary for a

Day Brendan will shadow a General

Manager in the Department of

From the Deputy Principal

Now that Parent Teacher Nights are over

it is important parents and students

reflect on the feedback received through

reports and first semester assessments

The power of feedback has been well

researched It contributes significantly to

students working towards and achieving

their personal best It also has a big

impact on your childrsquos sense of control

An easier way to look at it is if your

child understands why they received a

good teacherrsquos comment or a comment

raising concerns that they in fact should

have a greater sense of control over their

learning by knowing this

Students feel a sense of achievement if

they do great work receive good marks

and positive feedback It confirms their

approach to a task and that it met the

standards of the assessment criteria This

creates pride in a job well done and our

reports acknowledge the student is

achieving their personal best Students

who do not perform to their potential

may not like feedback that their work

was not to their standard and while it

may be tough at least the student knows

what not to do the next time

Students make mistakes and it is

important to understand this and to avoid

- Colette Longley amp Tony Gahan

uncertainty about learning so that the

student knows what it takes to earn

good marks This is called academic

resilience and encourages consistent

engagement in all parts of their

learning For parents to help their child

achieve success no matter their

academic aptitude it is important to

talk frankly about whether they

succeeded or not and then have a chat

about how to repeat success with

similar tasks However if they didnrsquot

succeed discuss what can be learned

from the result to improve with the

next task This focuses your discussion

around tasks rather than overall

performance and helps build your

childrsquos focus on learning

Students need clear guidance about

what you expect of them in semester

two Make your expectations represent

SMART goals ie specific measurable

attainable realistic and time aware To

do this put action around self-

regulatory skills This focuses not on

the mark but the quality of preparation

needed to achieve a good result For

example with your child go to the MHS

website click on quick links

lsquoCalendarrsquo then click on lsquoSchool

Calendar Liversquo and review the next ten

weeks Sit down with them and plan the

next term prepare a schedule and help

your child bring about certainty to their

learning ie there is a test week 5 rather

than I know there is a test coming up but

Irsquom not sure Together you will know

what will be assessed and quality time

can be put aside to prepare for it Your

child will appreciate your help as it

teaches them about being engaged

learners

Here is a pretty SMART goal

In the next assessment task I will take

careful notes and review them at least

two days before the due date and if I am

unsure I should ask the teacher questions

about what I dont understand I will do

my assignment work before I do things

with friends and while preparing I will

look back at feedback that I received

about my skills from other assessment

tasks When I get anything wrong I will

make sure to ask the teacher or one of

my classmates how they got the right

answer

Good luck with semester 2 and be smart

2016 Chinese Bridge Competition

FROM Victor Zhang Chinese Language Teacher

On 30 May three Year 9 students

Shreyasi Dhungana Ji Woo Kim and

Victoria Moura-Watts attended 2016

Chinese Bridge Competition NSW a

contest for foreign secondary school

students on their mastery of the Chinese

language at Darling Harbour There

were 15 schools that took part in this

competition in which Shreyasi Victoria

and Ji Woo were the youngest

contestants The competition is composed of two

parts speech and talent show All of our

Mosman students sang Chinese songs

in the section of talent show and re-

ceived a lot of applause and cheers

from the audience

They are all confident to expect a

greater success next year

P amp C Report FROM Evan Predavec P amp C President

The meeting also saw a discussion of

the fact that many families in Years 10

and 11 have not paid their school

contributions this year That presents a

problem for the school because those

contributions go to pay for the WiFi

network consumables such as the art

supplies paper for photocopied

booklets and so on

If families have financial difficulty

making the payment there is

government money available to make

up the shortfall But that money is only

available if the school is notified of

difficulty if people simply dont pay

there is no money available

The conclusion the meeting came to was

that people have forgotten and the

documentation has been overlooked So

you can expect to hear more about this

as a reminder over the coming weeks

The next PampC meeting is on Thursday

July 28th at 7pm in the Library

At the last PampC meeting Susan Wyatt

presented a range of facts and figures

about the school Most students

participated in the Tell Them From Me

survey earlier this year and the feedback

was interesting Mostly the feedback was

good and Mosman is performing at a

level above most schools around the

State There are a couple of spots of

concern revolving around student

enthusiasm in some years and bullying

but the school staff are already

addressing these - which just goes to

show the value of the survey

Henry Lawson Festival of Arts Verse and

Short Story Competition

It Starts Now A Poem by Matilda Meikle

I used to love boys things

I didnt love pink skirts dresses and rings

And Ive never looked in the mirror and seen the mess

Of a stereotypical girl in a bow and a dress

I was always the grey sheep in a sea of white

The little girls that walk down the street

All seem to be dancing to the same beat

They dont like pants or the colour blue

And few of them paddle their own canoe

Is that what they want Or is that what they learn

When the time comes for me to go out into the world

Ill be expected to travel the route of a predictable girl

Look right have a family get paid less accept a glass ceiling

And smile about all of that no matter how Im feeling

Its hard to spread your wings when youre inside a cage

But little girls who wear pink or not

Deserve a better future than what weve got

We need a change we need to dream

We need a promising future however tough it may seem

For that we have to choose the harder road the bumpy lane

So that girl who love boys things

Not dresses or rings

Wants to grow up and follow her heart

And that starts now

Courage focus belief purpose - it starts now

Matilda Meikle is a young writer and

poet in Year 7 at Mosman High School

whose included poem explores issues of

gender and courage Her poetry

encourages the audience to reflect on

their stereotypes and the impact that this

has on young girls

Her poem received a highly commended

prize in the Henry Lawson Festival of

Arts Verse and Short Story Competition

Bennett Leilani Holmes Skrill Eliza

Slimes and Amy Wojciechowski) and

in July Good Luck

Ruby Moon

Last term the year 10 drama class studied and performed a past HSC play

Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron It follows the story of two parents looking

for their lost child and the eccentric neighbourhood characters they interact

with in their search for Ruby This play allowed us to delve into the

characters lives and contrasted the usual cheerful pieces we were used to

performing Studying a post-HSC text was more difficult for us and created

a space where we could discuss and learn about theatre techniques we hadnt

experienced before

Male and female characters who change roles between the couple Sylvie and

Ray and the wacky neighbours down the road usually act the play In our

performance each pair of students workshopped a single scene They

choreographed the movement of the scene and worked on character

development as well as organising props and the set needed As a class we

arranged the lighting and sound cues needed which were used on the night

to produce a fully independent and professional performance Overall

studying Ruby Moon was a new and challenging experience allowing us to

improve our practical technique and understanding of theatre

TAS Report FROM Mark Jones Head Teacher TAS

Teacher nights as communication helps

enormously in your childrsquos success

Although 2017 seems a long way off it

is a good time to start thinking of

Electives for Years 9 10 amp 11 for next

year As the TAS (Technology and

Applied Studies) Faculty provides a

myriad of subject courses I would

recommend parents amp students start

investigating the subjects they are

interested in and attend the upcoming

Subject Information Evenings

Due to the large number of year 7

Technology Mandatory classes and the

limited access to some resources the

Lunch time wood turners group has

been a great success and will continue

this term The 5 wood lathes in E

Block have been used consistently every

lunch time during Term 2 with many

beautiful bowls mallets and egg cups

being produced Below are some of the

impressive results from these keen

students using the lathe for the first time

I congratulate these students for their

enthusiasm and willingness to develop

their practical skills The constant smell

of Camphour Laurel shavings has been a

constant reminder of the lunch time

activity There are opportunities so if you

are keen come to Tech Wood 1 any

Lunchtime and have a go Irsquom sure

yoursquoll enjoy the experience

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben

Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and

their teacher Ms Xue went on an

excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day

excursion dedicated to approaching math

questions from a different angle (no pun

intended) Set at the University of

Technology Sydney (UTS) we were

joined by a number of students and their

teachers from other schools across

Sydney to explore and challenge our

understanding of what it means to be a

true mathematician

The main focus of the day was to

appreciate and explore a variety of

approaches to solving interesting

problems As the questions were quite

difficult we worked in groups of three

students the teacher and a volunteer

academic from the university We were

all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot

important but rather the mathematical

thinking and development of ideas that

surrounded how we unpacked questions

and attempted to solve them that did The

day challenged us to criticise our own

thinking and to engage deeply in

substantive communication with one

another

Much to our delight little to no

prompting or explanations were given as

we first encountered the various

problems but rather we were encouraged

to explore and play Needless to say it

was a challenge for all of us (both adult

and student) As more conjectures were

made throughout the room and ideas and

understandings began flowing we

collectively were able to (eventually)

figure out both what the question was

asking and how we just might solve it

The day was a very good experience as it

showed us an entirely different way of

approaching maths and taught us to think

of ideas ourselves

There were four questions we spent the

day trying to solve three of which are

included here Have a go and see if you

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability

WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability

WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau

WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)

WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability

the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)

the studentrsquos level of adjustment

the studentrsquos broad type of disability

The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability

WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included

WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on

consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments

the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments

any medical or other professional diagnosis

other relevant information

School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate

HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices

IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority

FURTHER INFORMATION Contact your childrsquos school if you have further questions about the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability You can also visit wwweducationgovaunationally-consistent-collection-data-school-students-disability An e-learning resource about the Disability Standards for Education 2005 is freely available for the use of individuals families and communities at httpresourcedsetheeducationinstituteeduau

Continued from page 1

Already almost 50 of teachers

participated in a series of four evening

workshops in partnership with UNSW

and the GERRIC centre to qualify for a

Certificate of Gifted Education One of

the features of this course was

developing specific subject programs

that responded to the needs of gifted

students At an upcoming Professional

Learning evening those trained teachers

will be supporting those who did not

attend the training in developing these

skills in program writing

The first week back at school will see the

final Parent Teacher night for 2016 This

last evening will again provide parents of

Years 9 and 10 the opportunity to discuss

their studentrsquos progress with their

teachers The final semester one report

was also issued in week 1 for Years 9 10

and 11 and so all students should now

have received their Half Yearly report

Another very successful initiative was

the cake stall and sausage sizzle that took

place on Election Day The PampC art

committee organised the cake stall and

the PampC sports committee organised the

sausage sizzle (with eggs bacon and

onions) both these committees as do

our other parent committees work very

hard to support students at the school

with incredible resources

This time last year we were trialling the

ldquoElevaterdquo program with a number of

year groups This program teaches

students organisational and study skills

and each year builds upon earlier student

workshops The feedback from students

is extremely positive and the Elevate

program is now embedded in the school

calendar

At the end of term our junior and senior

dance ensembles performed at the

Northern Sydney Dance Festival Both

performances were received with high

acclaim Ms Leto our wonderful dance

coordinator also held a dance soiree to

showcase the HSC dance studentsrsquo

performances and choreography The

standard of performance by all students

was outstanding

Three of our drama ensembles have also

been selected to perform at the Sydney

North Drama Festival Our drama

students are so talented I am sure they

will be acclaimed

Many of our students have achieved

incredible success lately both

individually and in teams Ashley

Wilkie Y12 and an SRC leader has

been chosen to lead all cadets in the

Sydney metropolitan region A

fantastic achievement Lara Unkovich

of Y9 belongs to the Metropolitan

Slammers and her tennis team were

successful in winning the 2016 NSW

Championships Lara is also a member

of the MHS Knock Out tennis team

that has reached the final eight teams in

the state

Hedy Hagans (Y11) participated in a

two week promotion course with the

AAFC and not only did she pass with

Distinction she was the Dux of the

course which included over 80

participants from around the country

Also a number of students are finalists

in the Young ICT Explorers

competition Best wishes to Callum

Predavec Declan Predavec Jacques

Mathot Alex Songeon Senzaki and

Finbar Walker

Also during the holidays I was

informed of a wonderful student

success Both Callum (Y10) and

Declan (Y8) Predavec won the

Australian Information Industry iAwards

for an innovative bike system The Hi-

Viz bike system uses a mix of

technology to protect cyclists on the

road Declan and Callum will now

represent NSW in the National

competition Congratulations and good

luck boys Congratulations also to

Harmony Lovegrove who has been

selected as a featured soloist in Schools

Finally we have just received wonderful

news that Brendan Nyholm (Y11) has

been selected as one of twenty students

from across NSW to be Secretary for a

Day Brendan will shadow a General

Manager in the Department of

Education This is a special initiative as

part of Education Week

On behalf of the Mosman community we

From the Deputy Principal

Now that Parent Teacher Nights are over

it is important parents and students

reflect on the feedback received through

reports and first semester assessments

The power of feedback has been well

researched It contributes significantly to

students working towards and achieving

their personal best It also has a big

impact on your childrsquos sense of control

An easier way to look at it is if your

child understands why they received a

good teacherrsquos comment or a comment

raising concerns that they in fact should

have a greater sense of control over their

learning by knowing this

Students feel a sense of achievement if

they do great work receive good marks

and positive feedback It confirms their

approach to a task and that it met the

standards of the assessment criteria This

creates pride in a job well done and our

reports acknowledge the student is

achieving their personal best Students

who do not perform to their potential

may not like feedback that their work

was not to their standard and while it

may be tough at least the student knows

what not to do the next time

Students make mistakes and it is

important to understand this and to avoid

- Colette Longley amp Tony Gahan

uncertainty about learning so that the

student knows what it takes to earn

good marks This is called academic

resilience and encourages consistent

engagement in all parts of their

learning For parents to help their child

achieve success no matter their

academic aptitude it is important to

talk frankly about whether they

succeeded or not and then have a chat

about how to repeat success with

similar tasks However if they didnrsquot

succeed discuss what can be learned

from the result to improve with the

next task This focuses your discussion

around tasks rather than overall

performance and helps build your

childrsquos focus on learning

Students need clear guidance about

what you expect of them in semester

two Make your expectations represent

SMART goals ie specific measurable

attainable realistic and time aware To

do this put action around self-

regulatory skills This focuses not on

the mark but the quality of preparation

needed to achieve a good result For

example with your child go to the MHS

website click on quick links

lsquoCalendarrsquo then click on lsquoSchool

Calendar Liversquo and review the next ten

weeks Sit down with them and plan the

next term prepare a schedule and help

your child bring about certainty to their

learning ie there is a test week 5 rather

than I know there is a test coming up but

Irsquom not sure Together you will know

what will be assessed and quality time

can be put aside to prepare for it Your

child will appreciate your help as it

teaches them about being engaged

learners

Here is a pretty SMART goal

In the next assessment task I will take

careful notes and review them at least

two days before the due date and if I am

unsure I should ask the teacher questions

about what I dont understand I will do

my assignment work before I do things

with friends and while preparing I will

look back at feedback that I received

about my skills from other assessment

tasks When I get anything wrong I will

make sure to ask the teacher or one of

my classmates how they got the right

answer

Good luck with semester 2 and be smart

2016 Chinese Bridge Competition

P amp C Report FROM Evan Predavec P amp C President

The meeting also saw a discussion of

the fact that many families in Years 10

and 11 have not paid their school

contributions this year That presents a

problem for the school because those

contributions go to pay for the WiFi

network consumables such as the art

supplies paper for photocopied

booklets and so on

If families have financial difficulty

making the payment there is

government money available to make

up the shortfall But that money is only

available if the school is notified of

difficulty if people simply dont pay

there is no money available

The conclusion the meeting came to was

that people have forgotten and the

documentation has been overlooked So

you can expect to hear more about this

as a reminder over the coming weeks

The next PampC meeting is on Thursday

July 28th at 7pm in the Library

At the last PampC meeting Susan Wyatt

presented a range of facts and figures

about the school Most students

participated in the Tell Them From Me

survey earlier this year and the feedback

was interesting Mostly the feedback was

good and Mosman is performing at a

level above most schools around the

State There are a couple of spots of

concern revolving around student

enthusiasm in some years and bullying

but the school staff are already

addressing these - which just goes to

show the value of the survey

Short Story Competition

It Starts Now A Poem by Matilda Meikle

I used to love boys things

I didnt love pink skirts dresses and rings

And Ive never looked in the mirror and seen the mess

Of a stereotypical girl in a bow and a dress

I was always the grey sheep in a sea of white

The little girls that walk down the street

All seem to be dancing to the same beat

They dont like pants or the colour blue

And few of them paddle their own canoe

Is that what they want Or is that what they learn

When the time comes for me to go out into the world

Ill be expected to travel the route of a predictable girl

Look right have a family get paid less accept a glass ceiling

And smile about all of that no matter how Im feeling

Its hard to spread your wings when youre inside a cage

But little girls who wear pink or not

Deserve a better future than what weve got

We need a change we need to dream

We need a promising future however tough it may seem

For that we have to choose the harder road the bumpy lane

So that girl who love boys things

Not dresses or rings

Wants to grow up and follow her heart

And that starts now

Courage focus belief purpose - it starts now

Matilda Meikle is a young writer and

poet in Year 7 at Mosman High School

whose included poem explores issues of

gender and courage Her poetry

encourages the audience to reflect on

their stereotypes and the impact that this

has on young girls

Her poem received a highly commended

prize in the Henry Lawson Festival of

Arts Verse and Short Story Competition

practical exams

Year 8 and 9 are busily rehearsing plays

that will be presented later in the term

Congratulations

Harmony Lovegrove from Year 10 She

to be a featured artist at this years School

Spectacular Harmony also performed

brilliantly at a recent benefit at the

Sydney Town Hall

We also have three Drama Ensembles in

the Arts North Drama Festival Two

pieces from Year 10 (India Rowe

Katherine Porrit-Fraser Tom Castle Ella

Bennett Leilani Holmes Skrill Eliza

Slimes and Amy Wojciechowski) and

one from Year 11 (Lulu Stone Lili

Sandiford and Lola Trajkovich) They

will perform at the Seymour Centre late

in July Good Luck

Ruby Moon

Last term the year 10 drama class studied and performed a past HSC play

Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron It follows the story of two parents looking

for their lost child and the eccentric neighbourhood characters they interact

with in their search for Ruby This play allowed us to delve into the

characters lives and contrasted the usual cheerful pieces we were used to

performing Studying a post-HSC text was more difficult for us and created

a space where we could discuss and learn about theatre techniques we hadnt

experienced before

Male and female characters who change roles between the couple Sylvie and

Ray and the wacky neighbours down the road usually act the play In our

performance each pair of students workshopped a single scene They

choreographed the movement of the scene and worked on character

development as well as organising props and the set needed As a class we

arranged the lighting and sound cues needed which were used on the night

to produce a fully independent and professional performance Overall

studying Ruby Moon was a new and challenging experience allowing us to

improve our practical technique and understanding of theatre

Applied Studies) Faculty provides a

myriad of subject courses I would

recommend parents amp students start

investigating the subjects they are

interested in and attend the upcoming

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben

Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and

their teacher Ms Xue went on an

excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day

excursion dedicated to approaching math

questions from a different angle (no pun

intended) Set at the University of

Technology Sydney (UTS) we were

joined by a number of students and their

teachers from other schools across

Sydney to explore and challenge our

understanding of what it means to be a

true mathematician

The main focus of the day was to

appreciate and explore a variety of

approaches to solving interesting

problems As the questions were quite

difficult we worked in groups of three

students the teacher and a volunteer

academic from the university We were

all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot

important but rather the mathematical

thinking and development of ideas that

surrounded how we unpacked questions

and attempted to solve them that did The

day challenged us to criticise our own

thinking and to engage deeply in

substantive communication with one

another

Much to our delight little to no

prompting or explanations were given as

we first encountered the various

problems but rather we were encouraged

to explore and play Needless to say it

was a challenge for all of us (both adult

and student) As more conjectures were

made throughout the room and ideas and

understandings began flowing we

collectively were able to (eventually)

figure out both what the question was

asking and how we just might solve it

The day was a very good experience as it

showed us an entirely different way of

approaching maths and taught us to think

of ideas ourselves

There were four questions we spent the

day trying to solve three of which are

included here Have a go and see if you

have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability

WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability

WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau

WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)

WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability

the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)

the studentrsquos level of adjustment

the studentrsquos broad type of disability

The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability

WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included

WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on

consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments

the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments

any medical or other professional diagnosis

other relevant information

School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate

HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices

IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority

From the Deputy Principal

Now that Parent Teacher Nights are over

it is important parents and students

reflect on the feedback received through

reports and first semester assessments

The power of feedback has been well

researched It contributes significantly to

students working towards and achieving

their personal best It also has a big

impact on your childrsquos sense of control

An easier way to look at it is if your

child understands why they received a

good teacherrsquos comment or a comment

raising concerns that they in fact should

have a greater sense of control over their

learning by knowing this

Students feel a sense of achievement if

they do great work receive good marks

and positive feedback It confirms their

approach to a task and that it met the

standards of the assessment criteria This

creates pride in a job well done and our

reports acknowledge the student is

achieving their personal best Students

who do not perform to their potential

may not like feedback that their work

was not to their standard and while it

may be tough at least the student knows

what not to do the next time

Students make mistakes and it is

important to understand this and to avoid

- Colette Longley amp Tony Gahan

uncertainty about learning so that the

student knows what it takes to earn

good marks This is called academic

resilience and encourages consistent

engagement in all parts of their

learning For parents to help their child

achieve success no matter their

academic aptitude it is important to

talk frankly about whether they

succeeded or not and then have a chat

about how to repeat success with

similar tasks However if they didnrsquot

succeed discuss what can be learned

from the result to improve with the

next task This focuses your discussion

around tasks rather than overall

performance and helps build your

childrsquos focus on learning

Students need clear guidance about

what you expect of them in semester

two Make your expectations represent

SMART goals ie specific measurable

attainable realistic and time aware To

do this put action around self-

regulatory skills This focuses not on

the mark but the quality of preparation

needed to achieve a good result For

example with your child go to the MHS

website click on quick links

lsquoCalendarrsquo then click on lsquoSchool

Calendar Liversquo and review the next ten

weeks Sit down with them and plan the

next term prepare a schedule and help

your child bring about certainty to their

learning ie there is a test week 5 rather

than I know there is a test coming up but

Irsquom not sure Together you will know

what will be assessed and quality time

can be put aside to prepare for it Your

child will appreciate your help as it

teaches them about being engaged

learners

Here is a pretty SMART goal

In the next assessment task I will take

careful notes and review them at least

two days before the due date and if I am

unsure I should ask the teacher questions

about what I dont understand I will do

my assignment work before I do things

with friends and while preparing I will

look back at feedback that I received

about my skills from other assessment

tasks When I get anything wrong I will

make sure to ask the teacher or one of

my classmates how they got the right

answer

Good luck with semester 2 and be smart

2016 Chinese Bridge Competition

FROM Victor Zhang Chinese Language Teacher

On 30 May three Year 9 students

Shreyasi Dhungana Ji Woo Kim and

Victoria Moura-Watts attended 2016

Chinese Bridge Competition NSW a

contest for foreign secondary school

students on their mastery of the Chinese

language at Darling Harbour There

were 15 schools that took part in this

competition in which Shreyasi Victoria

and Ji Woo were the youngest

contestants The competition is composed of two

parts speech and talent show All of our

Mosman students sang Chinese songs

in the section of talent show and re-

ceived a lot of applause and cheers

from the audience

They are all confident to expect a

greater success next year

P amp C Report FROM Evan Predavec P amp C President

The meeting also saw a discussion of

the fact that many families in Years 10

and 11 have not paid their school

contributions this year That presents a

problem for the school because those

contributions go to pay for the WiFi

network consumables such as the art

supplies paper for photocopied

booklets and so on

If families have financial difficulty

making the payment there is

government money available to make

up the shortfall But that money is only

available if the school is notified of

difficulty if people simply dont pay

there is no money available

The conclusion the meeting came to was

that people have forgotten and the

documentation has been overlooked So

you can expect to hear more about this

as a reminder over the coming weeks

The next PampC meeting is on Thursday

July 28th at 7pm in the Library

At the last PampC meeting Susan Wyatt

presented a range of facts and figures

about the school Most students

participated in the Tell Them From Me

survey earlier this year and the feedback

was interesting Mostly the feedback was

good and Mosman is performing at a

level above most schools around the

State There are a couple of spots of

concern revolving around student

enthusiasm in some years and bullying

but the school staff are already

addressing these - which just goes to

show the value of the survey

Henry Lawson Festival of Arts Verse and

Short Story Competition

It Starts Now A Poem by Matilda Meikle

I used to love boys things

I didnt love pink skirts dresses and rings

And Ive never looked in the mirror and seen the mess

Of a stereotypical girl in a bow and a dress

I was always the grey sheep in a sea of white

The little girls that walk down the street

All seem to be dancing to the same beat

They dont like pants or the colour blue

And few of them paddle their own canoe

Is that what they want Or is that what they learn

When the time comes for me to go out into the world

Ill be expected to travel the route of a predictable girl

Look right have a family get paid less accept a glass ceiling

And smile about all of that no matter how Im feeling

Its hard to spread your wings when youre inside a cage

But little girls who wear pink or not

Deserve a better future than what weve got

We need a change we need to dream

We need a promising future however tough it may seem

For that we have to choose the harder road the bumpy lane

So that girl who love boys things

Not dresses or rings

Wants to grow up and follow her heart

And that starts now

Courage focus belief purpose - it starts now

Matilda Meikle is a young writer and

poet in Year 7 at Mosman High School

whose included poem explores issues of

gender and courage Her poetry

encourages the audience to reflect on

their stereotypes and the impact that this

has on young girls

Her poem received a highly commended

prize in the Henry Lawson Festival of

Arts Verse and Short Story Competition

Ruby Moon

Last term the year 10 drama class studied and performed a past HSC play

Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron It follows the story of two parents looking

for their lost child and the eccentric neighbourhood characters they interact

with in their search for Ruby This play allowed us to delve into the

characters lives and contrasted the usual cheerful pieces we were used to

performing Studying a post-HSC text was more difficult for us and created

a space where we could discuss and learn about theatre techniques we hadnt

experienced before

Male and female characters who change roles between the couple Sylvie and

Ray and the wacky neighbours down the road usually act the play In our

performance each pair of students workshopped a single scene They

choreographed the movement of the scene and worked on character

development as well as organising props and the set needed As a class we

arranged the lighting and sound cues needed which were used on the night

to produce a fully independent and professional performance Overall

studying Ruby Moon was a new and challenging experience allowing us to

improve our practical technique and understanding of theatre

Teacher nights as communication helps

enormously in your childrsquos success

Although 2017 seems a long way off it

is a good time to start thinking of

Electives for Years 9 10 amp 11 for next

year As the TAS (Technology and

Applied Studies) Faculty provides a

myriad of subject courses I would

recommend parents amp students start

investigating the subjects they are

interested in and attend the upcoming

Subject Information Evenings

Due to the large number of year 7

Technology Mandatory classes and the

limited access to some resources the

Lunch time wood turners group has

been a great success and will continue

this term The 5 wood lathes in E

Block have been used consistently every

lunch time during Term 2 with many

beautiful bowls mallets and egg cups

being produced Below are some of the

impressive results from these keen

students using the lathe for the first time

I congratulate these students for their

enthusiasm and willingness to develop

their practical skills The constant smell

of Camphour Laurel shavings has been a

constant reminder of the lunch time

activity There are opportunities so if you

are keen come to Tech Wood 1 any

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben

Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and

their teacher Ms Xue went on an

excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day

excursion dedicated to approaching math

questions from a different angle (no pun

intended) Set at the University of

Technology Sydney (UTS) we were

joined by a number of students and their

teachers from other schools across

Sydney to explore and challenge our

understanding of what it means to be a

true mathematician

The main focus of the day was to

appreciate and explore a variety of

approaches to solving interesting

problems As the questions were quite

difficult we worked in groups of three

students the teacher and a volunteer

academic from the university We were

all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot

important but rather the mathematical

thinking and development of ideas that

surrounded how we unpacked questions

and attempted to solve them that did The

day challenged us to criticise our own

thinking and to engage deeply in

substantive communication with one

another

Much to our delight little to no

prompting or explanations were given as

we first encountered the various

problems but rather we were encouraged

to explore and play Needless to say it

was a challenge for all of us (both adult

and student) As more conjectures were

made throughout the room and ideas and

understandings began flowing we

collectively were able to (eventually)

figure out both what the question was

asking and how we just might solve it

The day was a very good experience as it

showed us an entirely different way of

approaching maths and taught us to think

of ideas ourselves

There were four questions we spent the

day trying to solve three of which are

included here Have a go and see if you

have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability

WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability

WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau

WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)

WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability

the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)

the studentrsquos level of adjustment

the studentrsquos broad type of disability

The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability

WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included

WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on

consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments

the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments

any medical or other professional diagnosis

other relevant information

School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate

HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices

IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority

FURTHER INFORMATION Contact your childrsquos school if you have further questions about the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability You can also visit wwweducationgovaunationally-consistent-collection-data-school-students-disability An e-learning resource about the Disability Standards for Education 2005 is freely available for the use of individuals families and communities at httpresourcedsetheeducationinstituteeduau

P amp C Report FROM Evan Predavec P amp C President

The meeting also saw a discussion of

the fact that many families in Years 10

and 11 have not paid their school

contributions this year That presents a

problem for the school because those

contributions go to pay for the WiFi

network consumables such as the art

supplies paper for photocopied

booklets and so on

If families have financial difficulty

making the payment there is

government money available to make

up the shortfall But that money is only

available if the school is notified of

difficulty if people simply dont pay

there is no money available

The conclusion the meeting came to was

that people have forgotten and the

documentation has been overlooked So

you can expect to hear more about this

as a reminder over the coming weeks

The next PampC meeting is on Thursday

July 28th at 7pm in the Library

At the last PampC meeting Susan Wyatt

presented a range of facts and figures

about the school Most students

participated in the Tell Them From Me

survey earlier this year and the feedback

was interesting Mostly the feedback was

good and Mosman is performing at a

level above most schools around the

State There are a couple of spots of

concern revolving around student

enthusiasm in some years and bullying

but the school staff are already

addressing these - which just goes to

show the value of the survey

Henry Lawson Festival of Arts Verse and

Short Story Competition

It Starts Now A Poem by Matilda Meikle

I used to love boys things

I didnt love pink skirts dresses and rings

And Ive never looked in the mirror and seen the mess

Of a stereotypical girl in a bow and a dress

I was always the grey sheep in a sea of white

The little girls that walk down the street

All seem to be dancing to the same beat

They dont like pants or the colour blue

And few of them paddle their own canoe

Is that what they want Or is that what they learn

When the time comes for me to go out into the world

Ill be expected to travel the route of a predictable girl

Look right have a family get paid less accept a glass ceiling

And smile about all of that no matter how Im feeling

Its hard to spread your wings when youre inside a cage

But little girls who wear pink or not

Deserve a better future than what weve got

We need a change we need to dream

We need a promising future however tough it may seem

For that we have to choose the harder road the bumpy lane

So that girl who love boys things

Not dresses or rings

Wants to grow up and follow her heart

And that starts now

Courage focus belief purpose - it starts now

Matilda Meikle is a young writer and

poet in Year 7 at Mosman High School

whose included poem explores issues of

gender and courage Her poetry

encourages the audience to reflect on

their stereotypes and the impact that this

has on young girls

Her poem received a highly commended

prize in the Henry Lawson Festival of

Arts Verse and Short Story Competition

Ruby Moon

Last term the year 10 drama class studied and performed a past HSC play

Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron It follows the story of two parents looking

for their lost child and the eccentric neighbourhood characters they interact

with in their search for Ruby This play allowed us to delve into the

characters lives and contrasted the usual cheerful pieces we were used to

performing Studying a post-HSC text was more difficult for us and created

a space where we could discuss and learn about theatre techniques we hadnt

experienced before

Male and female characters who change roles between the couple Sylvie and

Ray and the wacky neighbours down the road usually act the play In our

performance each pair of students workshopped a single scene They

choreographed the movement of the scene and worked on character

development as well as organising props and the set needed As a class we

arranged the lighting and sound cues needed which were used on the night

to produce a fully independent and professional performance Overall

studying Ruby Moon was a new and challenging experience allowing us to

improve our practical technique and understanding of theatre

enormously in your childrsquos success

Although 2017 seems a long way off it

is a good time to start thinking of

Electives for Years 9 10 amp 11 for next

year As the TAS (Technology and

Applied Studies) Faculty provides a

myriad of subject courses I would

recommend parents amp students start

investigating the subjects they are

interested in and attend the upcoming

Subject Information Evenings

Due to the large number of year 7

Technology Mandatory classes and the

limited access to some resources the

Lunch time wood turners group has

been a great success and will continue

this term The 5 wood lathes in E

Block have been used consistently every

lunch time during Term 2 with many

beautiful bowls mallets and egg cups

being produced Below are some of the

impressive results from these keen

students using the lathe for the first time

I congratulate these students for their

enthusiasm and willingness to develop

their practical skills The constant smell

of Camphour Laurel shavings has been a

constant reminder of the lunch time

activity There are opportunities so if you

are keen come to Tech Wood 1 any

Lunchtime and have a go Irsquom sure

yoursquoll enjoy the experience

Design and create your future

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben

Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and

their teacher Ms Xue went on an

excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day

excursion dedicated to approaching math

questions from a different angle (no pun

intended) Set at the University of

Technology Sydney (UTS) we were

joined by a number of students and their

teachers from other schools across

Sydney to explore and challenge our

understanding of what it means to be a

true mathematician

The main focus of the day was to

appreciate and explore a variety of

approaches to solving interesting

problems As the questions were quite

difficult we worked in groups of three

students the teacher and a volunteer

academic from the university We were

all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot

important but rather the mathematical

thinking and development of ideas that

surrounded how we unpacked questions

and attempted to solve them that did The

day challenged us to criticise our own

thinking and to engage deeply in

substantive communication with one

another

Much to our delight little to no

prompting or explanations were given as

we first encountered the various

problems but rather we were encouraged

to explore and play Needless to say it

was a challenge for all of us (both adult

and student) As more conjectures were

made throughout the room and ideas and

understandings began flowing we

collectively were able to (eventually)

figure out both what the question was

asking and how we just might solve it

The day was a very good experience as it

showed us an entirely different way of

approaching maths and taught us to think

of ideas ourselves

There were four questions we spent the

day trying to solve three of which are

included here Have a go and see if you

have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability

WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability

WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau

WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)

WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability

the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)

the studentrsquos level of adjustment

the studentrsquos broad type of disability

The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability

WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included

WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on

consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments

the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments

any medical or other professional diagnosis

other relevant information

School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate

HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices

IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority

FURTHER INFORMATION Contact your childrsquos school if you have further questions about the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability You can also visit wwweducationgovaunationally-consistent-collection-data-school-students-disability An e-learning resource about the Disability Standards for Education 2005 is freely available for the use of individuals families and communities at httpresourcedsetheeducationinstituteeduau

Performing Arts News FROM John Feros Head Teacher Performing Arts

Welcome back everyone to Term 3 This

term is one of our busiest periods all

year It is the business end for Year 12

Students in Music Drama and

Entertainment all begin their Trial HSC

in week 2 This will be followed by the

actual HSC in Drama and Music in

weeks 6-9 All Practical HSC subjects

begin their exams in term 3 and complete

the written component in October Keep

an eye out for performances in the

School Theatre where Year 12 will

showcase their HSC performances Year

12 Drama will perform on August 9-10

beginning at 630pm and Music 1 and

Music 2 will perform the following

week I would like to wish all

Performing Arts students success in their

practical exams

Year 8 and 9 are busily rehearsing plays

that will be presented later in the term

Both Miss Urlich and Ms Mulhall are

really pleased with the auditions and the

students are ready to take ownership of

their work This is such a worthwhile

unit as it gives students experience in a

sustained production

Donrsquot forget to put an entry into our film

festival MosFest screening in term 4

Get together with some friends and make

a 3-5 minute film Drop in and see Miss

Urlich or Mr Feros in the Performing

Arts staffroom for more information

Congratulations

Harmony Lovegrove from Year 10 She

has been selected for an amazing 6th time

to be a featured artist at this years School

Spectacular Harmony also performed

brilliantly at a recent benefit at the

Sydney Town Hall

We also have three Drama Ensembles in

the Arts North Drama Festival Two

pieces from Year 10 (India Rowe

Katherine Porrit-Fraser Tom Castle Ella

Bennett Leilani Holmes Skrill Eliza

Slimes and Amy Wojciechowski) and

one from Year 11 (Lulu Stone Lili

Sandiford and Lola Trajkovich) They

will perform at the Seymour Centre late

in July Good Luck

Ruby Moon

Last term the year 10 drama class studied and performed a past HSC play

Ruby Moon by Matt Cameron It follows the story of two parents looking

for their lost child and the eccentric neighbourhood characters they interact

with in their search for Ruby This play allowed us to delve into the

characters lives and contrasted the usual cheerful pieces we were used to

performing Studying a post-HSC text was more difficult for us and created

a space where we could discuss and learn about theatre techniques we hadnt

experienced before

Male and female characters who change roles between the couple Sylvie and

Ray and the wacky neighbours down the road usually act the play In our

performance each pair of students workshopped a single scene They

choreographed the movement of the scene and worked on character

development as well as organising props and the set needed As a class we

arranged the lighting and sound cues needed which were used on the night

to produce a fully independent and professional performance Overall

studying Ruby Moon was a new and challenging experience allowing us to

improve our practical technique and understanding of theatre

TAS Report FROM Mark Jones Head Teacher TAS

Teacher nights as communication helps

enormously in your childrsquos success

Although 2017 seems a long way off it

is a good time to start thinking of

Electives for Years 9 10 amp 11 for next

year As the TAS (Technology and

Applied Studies) Faculty provides a

myriad of subject courses I would

recommend parents amp students start

investigating the subjects they are

interested in and attend the upcoming

Subject Information Evenings

Technology Mandatory classes and the

limited access to some resources the

lunch time during Term 2 with many

beautiful bowls mallets and egg cups

being produced Below are some of the

impressive results from these keen

students using the lathe for the first time

I congratulate these students for their

enthusiasm and willingness to develop

their practical skills The constant smell

of Camphour Laurel shavings has been a

constant reminder of the lunch time

activity There are opportunities so if you

are keen come to Tech Wood 1 any

Lunchtime and have a go Irsquom sure

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben

Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and

their teacher Ms Xue went on an

excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day

excursion dedicated to approaching math

questions from a different angle (no pun

intended) Set at the University of

Technology Sydney (UTS) we were

joined by a number of students and their

teachers from other schools across

Sydney to explore and challenge our

understanding of what it means to be a

true mathematician

The main focus of the day was to

appreciate and explore a variety of

approaches to solving interesting

problems As the questions were quite

difficult we worked in groups of three

students the teacher and a volunteer

academic from the university We were

all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot

important but rather the mathematical

thinking and development of ideas that

surrounded how we unpacked questions

and attempted to solve them that did The

day challenged us to criticise our own

thinking and to engage deeply in

substantive communication with one

another

Much to our delight little to no

prompting or explanations were given as

we first encountered the various

problems but rather we were encouraged

to explore and play Needless to say it

was a challenge for all of us (both adult

and student) As more conjectures were

made throughout the room and ideas and

understandings began flowing we

collectively were able to (eventually)

figure out both what the question was

asking and how we just might solve it

The day was a very good experience as it

showed us an entirely different way of

approaching maths and taught us to think

of ideas ourselves

There were four questions we spent the

day trying to solve three of which are

included here Have a go and see if you

have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability

WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability

WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau

WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)

WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability

the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)

the studentrsquos level of adjustment

the studentrsquos broad type of disability

The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability

WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included

WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on

consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments

the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments

any medical or other professional diagnosis

other relevant information

School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate

HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices

IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority

FURTHER INFORMATION Contact your childrsquos school if you have further questions about the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability You can also visit wwweducationgovaunationally-consistent-collection-data-school-students-disability An e-learning resource about the Disability Standards for Education 2005 is freely available for the use of individuals families and communities at httpresourcedsetheeducationinstituteeduau

TAS Report FROM Mark Jones Head Teacher TAS

Teacher nights as communication helps

enormously in your childrsquos success

Although 2017 seems a long way off it

year As the TAS (Technology and

Applied Studies) Faculty provides a

myriad of subject courses I would

recommend parents amp students start

investigating the subjects they are

interested in and attend the upcoming

lunch time during Term 2 with many

beautiful bowls mallets and egg cups

impressive results from these keen

students using the lathe for the first time

enthusiasm and willingness to develop

their practical skills The constant smell

of Camphour Laurel shavings has been a

constant reminder of the lunch time

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben

Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and

their teacher Ms Xue went on an

excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day

excursion dedicated to approaching math

questions from a different angle (no pun

intended) Set at the University of

Technology Sydney (UTS) we were

joined by a number of students and their

teachers from other schools across

Sydney to explore and challenge our

understanding of what it means to be a

true mathematician

The main focus of the day was to

appreciate and explore a variety of

approaches to solving interesting

problems As the questions were quite

difficult we worked in groups of three

students the teacher and a volunteer

academic from the university We were

all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot

important but rather the mathematical

thinking and development of ideas that

surrounded how we unpacked questions

and attempted to solve them that did The

day challenged us to criticise our own

thinking and to engage deeply in

substantive communication with one

another

Much to our delight little to no

prompting or explanations were given as

we first encountered the various

problems but rather we were encouraged

to explore and play Needless to say it

was a challenge for all of us (both adult

and student) As more conjectures were

made throughout the room and ideas and

understandings began flowing we

collectively were able to (eventually)

figure out both what the question was

asking and how we just might solve it

The day was a very good experience as it

showed us an entirely different way of

approaching maths and taught us to think

of ideas ourselves

There were four questions we spent the

day trying to solve three of which are

included here Have a go and see if you

have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo

National Consistent Collection of Data Information for parents and carers

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability

WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability

WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau

Applied Studies) Faculty provides a

myriad of subject courses I would

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben

Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and

their teacher Ms Xue went on an

excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day

excursion dedicated to approaching math

questions from a different angle (no pun

intended) Set at the University of

Technology Sydney (UTS) we were

joined by a number of students and their

teachers from other schools across

Sydney to explore and challenge our

understanding of what it means to be a

true mathematician

The main focus of the day was to

appreciate and explore a variety of

approaches to solving interesting

problems As the questions were quite

difficult we worked in groups of three

students the teacher and a volunteer

academic from the university We were

all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot

important but rather the mathematical

thinking and development of ideas that

surrounded how we unpacked questions

and attempted to solve them that did The

day challenged us to criticise our own

thinking and to engage deeply in

substantive communication with one

another

Much to our delight little to no

prompting or explanations were given as

we first encountered the various

problems but rather we were encouraged

to explore and play Needless to say it

was a challenge for all of us (both adult

and student) As more conjectures were

made throughout the room and ideas and

understandings began flowing we

collectively were able to (eventually)

figure out both what the question was

asking and how we just might solve it

The day was a very good experience as it

showed us an entirely different way of

approaching maths and taught us to think

of ideas ourselves

There were four questions we spent the

day trying to solve three of which are

included here Have a go and see if you

have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability

WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability

WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau

WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)

WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability

the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)

the studentrsquos level of adjustment

the studentrsquos broad type of disability

The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability

WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included

WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on

consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments

the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments

any medical or other professional diagnosis

other relevant information

School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate

HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices

IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority

FURTHER INFORMATION Contact your childrsquos school if you have further questions about the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability You can also visit wwweducationgovaunationally-consistent-collection-data-school-students-disability An e-learning resource about the Disability Standards for Education 2005 is freely available for the use of individuals families and communities at httpresourcedsetheeducationinstituteeduau

Applied Studies) Faculty provides a

myriad of subject courses I would

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben

Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and

their teacher Ms Xue went on an

excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day

excursion dedicated to approaching math

questions from a different angle (no pun

intended) Set at the University of

Technology Sydney (UTS) we were

joined by a number of students and their

teachers from other schools across

Sydney to explore and challenge our

understanding of what it means to be a

true mathematician

The main focus of the day was to

appreciate and explore a variety of

approaches to solving interesting

problems As the questions were quite

difficult we worked in groups of three

students the teacher and a volunteer

academic from the university We were

all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot

important but rather the mathematical

thinking and development of ideas that

surrounded how we unpacked questions

and attempted to solve them that did The

day challenged us to criticise our own

thinking and to engage deeply in

substantive communication with one

another

Much to our delight little to no

prompting or explanations were given as

we first encountered the various

problems but rather we were encouraged

to explore and play Needless to say it

was a challenge for all of us (both adult

and student) As more conjectures were

made throughout the room and ideas and

understandings began flowing we

collectively were able to (eventually)

figure out both what the question was

asking and how we just might solve it

The day was a very good experience as it

showed us an entirely different way of

approaching maths and taught us to think

of ideas ourselves

There were four questions we spent the

day trying to solve three of which are

included here Have a go and see if you

have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo

TAS Report FROM Mark Jones Head Teacher TAS

Teacher nights as communication helps

enormously in your childrsquos success

Although 2017 seems a long way off it

is a good time to start thinking of

Electives for Years 9 10 amp 11 for next

year As the TAS (Technology and

Applied Studies) Faculty provides a

myriad of subject courses I would

recommend parents amp students start

investigating the subjects they are

interested in and attend the upcoming

Technology Mandatory classes and the

limited access to some resources the

been a great success and will continue

this term The 5 wood lathes in E

Block have been used consistently every

lunch time during Term 2 with many

beautiful bowls mallets and egg cups

being produced Below are some of the

impressive results from these keen

students using the lathe for the first time

I congratulate these students for their

enthusiasm and willingness to develop

their practical skills The constant smell

of Camphour Laurel shavings has been a

constant reminder of the lunch time

activity There are opportunities so if you

are keen come to Tech Wood 1 any

Lunchtime and have a go Irsquom sure

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben

Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and

their teacher Ms Xue went on an

excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day

excursion dedicated to approaching math

questions from a different angle (no pun

intended) Set at the University of

Technology Sydney (UTS) we were

joined by a number of students and their

teachers from other schools across

Sydney to explore and challenge our

understanding of what it means to be a

true mathematician

The main focus of the day was to

appreciate and explore a variety of

approaches to solving interesting

problems As the questions were quite

difficult we worked in groups of three

students the teacher and a volunteer

academic from the university We were

all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot

important but rather the mathematical

thinking and development of ideas that

surrounded how we unpacked questions

and attempted to solve them that did The

day challenged us to criticise our own

thinking and to engage deeply in

substantive communication with one

another

Much to our delight little to no

prompting or explanations were given as

we first encountered the various

problems but rather we were encouraged

to explore and play Needless to say it

was a challenge for all of us (both adult

and student) As more conjectures were

made throughout the room and ideas and

understandings began flowing we

collectively were able to (eventually)

figure out both what the question was

asking and how we just might solve it

The day was a very good experience as it

showed us an entirely different way of

approaching maths and taught us to think

of ideas ourselves

There were four questions we spent the

day trying to solve three of which are

included here Have a go and see if you

have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben

Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and

their teacher Ms Xue went on an

excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day

excursion dedicated to approaching math

questions from a different angle (no pun

intended) Set at the University of

Technology Sydney (UTS) we were

joined by a number of students and their

teachers from other schools across

Sydney to explore and challenge our

understanding of what it means to be a

true mathematician

The main focus of the day was to

appreciate and explore a variety of

approaches to solving interesting

problems As the questions were quite

difficult we worked in groups of three

students the teacher and a volunteer

academic from the university We were

all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot

important but rather the mathematical

thinking and development of ideas that

surrounded how we unpacked questions

and attempted to solve them that did The

day challenged us to criticise our own

thinking and to engage deeply in

substantive communication with one

another

Much to our delight little to no

prompting or explanations were given as

we first encountered the various

problems but rather we were encouraged

to explore and play Needless to say it

was a challenge for all of us (both adult

and student) As more conjectures were

made throughout the room and ideas and

understandings began flowing we

collectively were able to (eventually)

figure out both what the question was

asking and how we just might solve it

The day was a very good experience as it

showed us an entirely different way of

approaching maths and taught us to think

of ideas ourselves

There were four questions we spent the

day trying to solve three of which are

included here Have a go and see if you

have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability

WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability

WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau

WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)

WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability

the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)

the studentrsquos level of adjustment

the studentrsquos broad type of disability

The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability

WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included

WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on

consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments

the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments

any medical or other professional diagnosis

other relevant information

School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate

HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices

IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority

On Tuesday the 14th of June Ben

Aarons Emma Butler India Rowe and

their teacher Ms Xue went on an

excursion to lsquoDoing Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo This was a full-day

excursion dedicated to approaching math

questions from a different angle (no pun

intended) Set at the University of

Technology Sydney (UTS) we were

joined by a number of students and their

teachers from other schools across

Sydney to explore and challenge our

understanding of what it means to be a

true mathematician

The main focus of the day was to

appreciate and explore a variety of

approaches to solving interesting

problems As the questions were quite

difficult we worked in groups of three

students the teacher and a volunteer

academic from the university We were

all told that the answer itself wasnrsquot

important but rather the mathematical

thinking and development of ideas that

surrounded how we unpacked questions

and attempted to solve them that did The

day challenged us to criticise our own

thinking and to engage deeply in

substantive communication with one

another

Much to our delight little to no

prompting or explanations were given as

we first encountered the various

problems but rather we were encouraged

to explore and play Needless to say it

was a challenge for all of us (both adult

and student) As more conjectures were

made throughout the room and ideas and

understandings began flowing we

collectively were able to (eventually)

figure out both what the question was

asking and how we just might solve it

The day was a very good experience as it

showed us an entirely different way of

approaching maths and taught us to think

of ideas ourselves

There were four questions we spent the

day trying to solve three of which are

included here Have a go and see if you

have what it takes to lsquoDo Maths like a

Mathematicianrsquo

WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included

WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on

consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments

the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments

any medical or other professional diagnosis

other relevant information

School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate

HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices

WHAT IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION The Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability (the national data collection) is an annual collection that counts the number of school students with disability and the level of reasonable educational adjustment they are provided with The national data collection counts students who have been identified by a school team as receiving an adjustment to address a disability under the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (the DDA)

WHAT IS THE BENEFIT FOR MY CHILD This information will help teachers the principal and families to better support students with disability to take part in school on the same basis as students without disability The national data collection is an opportunity for our school to review our learning and support systems to continually improve education outcomes for our students with disability

WHY IS THIS DATA BEING COLLECTED The information provided through the national data collection will enable all Australian governments to improve target support and resources to benefit students with disability

WHAT ARE SCHOOLS REQUIRED TO DO FOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITY All students are entitled to a quality learning experience at school Schools are required to make reasonable adjustments where needed to assist students with disability to access and participate in education free from discrimination and on the same basis as other students These responsibilities are outlined in the DDA and the Disability Standards for Education 2005 (the Standards) The Standards require educators students parents and others (eg allied health professionals) to work together so that students with disability can participate in education The Standards can be accessed via the ComLaw website at wwwcomlawgovau

WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)

WHAT INFORMATION WILL BE COLLECTED Every year your childrsquos school will collect the following information for each student with a disability

the studentrsquos level of education (ie primary or secondary)

the studentrsquos level of adjustment

the studentrsquos broad type of disability

The information collected by schools will be provided to all governments to inform policy and programme improvement for students with disability

WHO WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION For the purposes of the national data collection students with learning difficulties such as dyslexia or auditory processing disorder as well as chronic health conditions like epilepsy diabetes or asthma that require active monitoring by the school may be included

WHO WILL COLLECT INFORMATION FOR THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION Teachers and school staff will count the number of students with disability in their school and the level of reasonable adjustment they are provided based on

consultation with parents and carers in the course of determining and providing reasonable adjustments

the school teamrsquos observations and professional judgments

any medical or other professional diagnosis

other relevant information

School principals are responsible for ensuring the information identified about each student is accurate

HOW WILL MY CHILDrsquoS PRIVACY BE PROTECTED Protecting the privacy and confidentiality of all students and their families is essential Personal details such as student names or other identifying information will not be provided to local or federal education authorities Further information about privacy is available from wwweducationgovaunotices

IS THE NATIONAL DATA COLLECTION COMPULSORY All education ministers agreed to full implementation of the national data collection from 2015 This means that all schools must now collect and submit information annually on the number of students with disability in their care and the level of adjustment provided to them Information about the arrangements that may apply to your school in relation to this data collection is available from your childrsquos school principal and the relevant education authority

FURTHER INFORMATION Contact your childrsquos school if you have further questions about the Nationally Consistent Collection of Data on School Students with Disability You can also visit wwweducationgovaunationally-consistent-collection-data-school-students-disability An e-learning resource about the Disability Standards for Education 2005 is freely available for the use of individuals families and communities at httpresourcedsetheeducationinstituteeduau

WHAT IS A REASONABLE ADJUSTMENT A reasonable adjustment is a measure or action taken to help a student with disability access and participate in education on the same basis as students without disability Reasonable adjustments reflect the assessed individual needs of the student and are provided in consultation with the student andor their parents and carers Reasonable adjustments can be made across the whole school setting (eg ramps into school buildings) in the classroom (such as adapting class lessons) and at an individual student level (eg extra tuition for a student with learning difficulties)
